Edmonton, Canada – April 2024 – In the vibrant heart of Wetaskiwin, Alberta, within the lands of the Ermineskin and Samson Cree Nations, a truly remarkable celebration of love, culture, and unity took place — the ACQ International Children’s Day.
What began as a simple gathering turned into a powerful moment of healing and hope, as hundreds came together to celebrate the children, their heritage, and the future.
🌿 Tradition Meets Compassion
More than just a festive occasion, this year’s ICD celebration embraced both Indigenous traditions and humanitarian care. From cultural performances and traditional dances by the elders, to face painting, games, unlimited food, and generous giveaways — every moment was woven with meaning and joy.
But the highlight? The heartfelt gift-giving. As children received their surprises, their smiles radiated pure gratitude — a beautiful reminder that love knows no boundaries.
“This is more than a celebration. It’s healing, unity, and a promise to the next generation,” shared one community elder.
❤️ A Legacy of Love
Behind the smiles and vibrant festivities is Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy, whose vision to plant seeds of love and kindness in every child’s heart continues to touch communities around the world. His mission is deeply felt in the Ermineskin Cree Nation, where years of consistent outreach and compassion have fostered enduring bonds.
This International Children’s Day wasn’t just an event — it was a living heartbeat of hope for a community rising above its past, and building a brighter, love-filled tomorrow.
